Fox News’ betrayal - there’s a question hanging in the air
American Thinker ^ | 11 Nov, 2020 | Patricia McCarthy

What were they thinking?

Now that millions of Fox News viewers have awakened to the network’s betrayal of their loyal viewers, what are we to think about those hosts we have let into our homes all these years? We’ve long thought that these anchors we relied upon for actual news were on the same political page as their viewers – reverence for the Constitution, law enforcement, our military, freedom, belief in American greatness, etc.

While it was clear some were not all-in Trump fans, Fox viewers assumed they shared their values. So have they been faking all these years? Have they gone home and made fun of Fox watchers and voted Democrat? Or have they now been ordered by Rupert Murdoch’s son to move left, to mimic CNN and MSNBC?

Chris Wallace revealed himself to be a partisan leftist, an anti-Trump guy, years ago so Fox News Sunday was no longer a must-watch program. He really exposed his bias in that first presidential debate; that was the final blow for conservatives re: Wallace.

Wallace is as committed a leftist as little George Stephanopoulos of ABC and the moonbats on CNN and MSNBC.

But that Bret Baier, Martha McCollum, Arthel Neville, Sandra Smith, Chris Stirewalt, et al, are suddenly all anti-Trumpers to the point of supporting a rigged election is a shock. Were they pretending then or are they pretending now? Either way, millions of us are no longer tuning in to Fox News.

Either someone is loyal to our republic as founded...or not.

Trust, like virginity, is a one time thing.

Once you lose it, you can NEVER go back, no do overs.

Faux shit the bed and there will be millions of one time loyal faux fans casting about for news and information.

People will still tune in, occasionally, for a specific program or guest or event, but gone are the days when many turned faux on at 5-6 AM and had it on as background noise for most of the day.

I think some of them realize that they screwed the pooch, but now don't know how to react or try to recover.

faux can ESAD.

I’ve quit watching. And if I don’t hear that Doocy and Kilmeade have decided to quit working for Fox, they will lose my respect. But my respect doesn’t pay their bills.

I stopped watching them. It really wasn’t all that hard.

I had figured out the bent of Baier, Neville (this one a long time ago), Smith and Stirewalt (he was really obvious). I did think McCallum was usually pretty even-handed. When they ‘called AZ for Biden’ she looked shell-shocked as the Stirewalt buffoon was grinning. No worries. They are all dead to me now.

Sometimes a boat just gets so spongey that you can’t fix it. Scuttle Fox and move on. OAN and Newsmax are trim and yar.

I’m a registered Dem.

Sometimes I register as a demonRAT just so I can vote in their primary {PA is a closed, and very corrupt, state}.

My dead, demonRAT mother voted twice, after she died.

DemonRATs are crooked, even after death.

Agreed. For anyone who watches Succession, on HBO was can see how Fox got to this point. Moron kids destroying what dad built.

NoTrumper Paul Ryan joined Fox. Fox became a no Trump network. Coincidence? I think not.

To me, the personal political philosophy of a journalist is irrelevant until they bring that bias to the story they are covering. The entire profession has crashed, as keeping personal viewpoints out of reporting is not practiced anymore. In fact, now they are beginning to proudly boast about their bias.

This week I've noticed that ordinary folks have given up on Fox News. There is a great sense of betrayal. I'm not talking about political news junkies. I'm talking about ordinary people giving up on Fox.

Really? Patricia hasn't been paying attention.

Oh yeah, how does one mention Chris Stirewalt in this context without his twin sister for life Dana Perino?

Most so-called “jour-No-lists” are Leftist hacks.

Trained and indoctrinated by Left-wing professors at Left-wing journalism schools.

And most importantly, they want to be part of the “In Crowd”. They will nod and yap in agreement with the giants of the Washington Post, New York Times, and ABCCBSCNNNBC.

Why should the talking heads and reporters at Fox News be any different?

Fox News's Neil Cavuto: Woah, woah, stop playing that video of President Trump's Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany talking at the White House podium! Censor her! Censor her!

Well, that's effectively what he said.

Great job, Fox News!
